Rainforests used to cover much of the west coast of Britain, but were destroyed over hundreds of years and, today, only a few remain.

But thanks to Wales' rainy weather, some could be returned, with the latest restoration project planned in Pembrokeshire.

The proposal has the potential to improve habitats for wildlife in the area.

According to the Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales (WTSWW), only 1% of the planet has the conditions needed for this kind of rainforest.

Remember, it's not in the mainstream news media's interest to serve you positive news, unfortunately:
